Is it all fresh fruit. If so, I have the answer for you.

I had a friend who told me she was allergic to fruit. Well, i thought this was ridiculous so I looked it up. It is true. She never knew anything about it so we learned together and all it took was a good google search.

Ok. So really it isn't an allergy to fruit. (unless its one fruit in particular). It is an allergy to the allergens on the fruit. There are a lot of pollens and chemicals on fruit. Most of them you cannot get off even with washing. You are reacting to that.

And it gets even more complicated. If there is a fruit that you have grown up eating you might be able to eat it, just that one (or two) because you have become immune to the allergens on it.

If you eat local honey this can help you become immune to local allergens. You may then be able to eat local fresh fruit.

Also someone told me that the herb nettles works well.

Oh, I almost forgot. What is this called?
Well, I looked it up again and came up with Oral Allergy Syndrome. But I'm pretty sure there is a fancy word for it too.
Here is a website
